Ubiquitous computing environments are typically based upon ad hoc networks of mobile computing devices. These devices may be equipped with sensor hardware to sense the physical en...
—In this paper, we present Black Burst Synchronization (BBS)1 , a novel protocol for decentralized network-wide tick synchronization in wireless ad hoc networks, located at MAC l...
Mutual network synchronization is a distributed method in which geographically separated clocks align their times to one another without the need of reference or master clocks. Mut...
Abstract— By means of so-called Scatternets, Bluetooth provides the ability to construct robust wireless multi-hop networks. In this paper we propose a practical protocol for tim...
